Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a researched based approach to dealing with your problems.

CBT is recommended by N.I.C.E. (The National Institute for Clinical Excellence). www.nice.org.uk This is the organisation that advises the NHS on which treatments are evidenced based and cost effective.

Those who can be helped using CBT include people suffering from such problems as:

CBT can’t solve all of your problems but it can provide straight forward, practical solutions to some of them.
